Episode 56
Episode 28. Call of the Empire (1)
After slaughtering hundreds of orcs, all I got was one magic stone and a few troll fangs.
Considering the money that went into the cellove unit and the hardships Yuma herself suffered, it was a very insignificant result.
But it was not a lucrative business.
After returning from the subjugation of Anten No. 7, the Sellove unit instantly became a famous organization in the capital.
In the first place, Yuma’s purpose of catching the first subjugation site, the 7th demon cave, had been achieved.
Members of the unit received a lot of attention they had never enjoyed before. There were people who recognized each other even when they went to bars, restaurants, or even walked down the street.
Most of the members, including Jeka and Geisel, walked proudly along the main road, enjoying their fame.
Commoners with money were already looking for someone to make one of them their son-in-law.
It wasn’t long before it was revealed that all members of the crew had wives and children, but that disappeared.
The members of the crew were deeply saddened when the eyes of the women and girls softened.
Aquin was the only member of the cellove unit who was reluctant to go out in the middle of the city or on the main street. As a miryak, he always wore a piece of cloth around his forehead.
And this time, Yuma’s new saga spread throughout the city of Hale.
Bards even made a separate collection of songs with the theme of Yuma.
The strongest orderly in history, the commoner’s hero, Sujeonno Puang, and Yuma’s banquet hall duel.
The newly added song this time was ‘Ten Million Orcs Slayer’.
Rumors, as always, were mixed with exaggeration and fiction, stimulating the people’s vicarious satisfaction.
-Yuma said he defeated hundreds of orcs by himself.
-No, they said that there were over 1,000 orcs.
– He said he sacrificed himself to save Lady Catherine of the Jacques family from danger.
-They said that the two were in a secret engagement relationship that Duran had already taken.
The reason why Catherine dared to follow the subjugation was to help the nanggun’s work… The
noble ladies were itching to ask Catherine about the facts of the rumor when a social gathering was held. .
Rumor has it that nobles and commoners are betrothed. It was not an ordinary aristocrat, but a daughter of the great aristocratic Jacques family and a commoner.
It was an unpleasant but romantic story for aristocratic women who love taboo and romance.
But the women knew Catherine’s personality well, so they didn’t ask anything.
Catherine kept quiet about the rumors and dismissed them as ‘it is true that he single-handedly cut down hundreds of orcs’.
‘Ha…. Terrible and boring.’
Catherine was attending a social gathering of noble ladies.
As immature women gathered together and listened to what happened to the knight and what the Confucius of a certain family did, even the sunlight filtering through the window became annoyed.
This place was literally a gathering place for immature people who knew nothing.
It wasn’t the first time I thought of it, but after going to subjugation with Yuma, it seemed even more so.
Now, even those who attended these meetings felt pitiful.
“I will wake up first.”
Catherine frowned and said.
It would be better to go back to the Jacques to practice swordsmanship or read a book than to waste time at an occasional gathering.
The aristocratic women nodded their heads as they carefully looked at Catherine.
Catherine was disgusted with even that appearance.
It seemed to them that the main task of their lives was to talk nonsense while the Jacques and Rollman Dee looked at the girls of the Povians.
‘Yuma must be doing something right now. Without wasting time on crap gatherings like this. It’s a fierce life…
From Catherine’s point of view, neither her father nor her brother Bunnies seemed to be having a very intense day on the battlefield.
They always fought as commanders or deputy commanders and received only the best education and treatment from birth.
Catherine felt various aspects of life while encountering not only Yuma, but also Jeka and other Cellov members.
Catherine looked at the attendant as if she had remembered something.
“Are you too fierce to live?”
“My lady, suddenly, what kind of question are you asking…
“You too have gone through a lot of ugly and harsh things in your life. and get over it.”
“No, lady. I just want to thank you for looking pretty in the Zach family.”
It was a sound not unlike that of a parrot.
Katherine shook her head and started to move towards Jacques Street, but hesitated.
‘No. I’ll have to take a look at what he’s doing.’
Catherine thought, nodding her head.
“I’ll stop by the Puang Sangbu and go back.”
“Okay, ma’am.”
Catherine’s carriage headed for the top of Pouang.
“Who are you?”
Cog, who happened to be guarding the top gate, asked.
Cog knew who she was. Still, I was perplexed and asked.
Red hair and beautiful features leave a strong impression at just one look.
It must have been Catherine Jacques.
Cogg bowed his head at Katherine, puzzled. It was the first time in my life that I had heard of the cellove members, but seeing the lady of the great aristocracy in person.
“Catherine Jacques. Is Yuma inside?”
“Yes yes! there is.”
“Open the door. Yuma has some business to do.”
Cog turned his head over twenty times as he opened the gate, not knowing where to look.
Seeing that scene, Catherine sighed for some reason.
‘Why is every single movement of mine so difficult for them?
It’s not like I’m beating you.’
Catherine really couldn’t understand the hearts of the common people.
“I’m sorry, lady…
“Why?”
“That… little master is that…10 ᄆ • “Where are you?”
“Uh, this is the drawing room. I will guide you quickly.”
Click and click Catherine’s shoes beat the marble rhythmically. For some reason, the thought of seeing Yuma while hanging out with those stupid girls made me feel better.
A booming noise echoed from inside the living room. after!
under! I also heard something like cheers.
Catherine raised her eyebrows as she approached the parlor.
“Ha…
Katherine, who checked inside the drawing room, sighed as she touched her forehead.
The guy who made himself immersed in idle thoughts all day came to see how he was using his time, but Yuma was chatting with the Cellove crew while wearing a barrel of sake.
It was noon now.
“Ughhh! go go go! Who’s next!”
“Captain I’m coming!”
“good! Destroy the parlor today!
Play properly!”
Yuma said as he scattered the sake from the wooden barrel into the air.
The strong alcohol smell of cheap wine pervaded the parlor.
It was truly like a pandemonium.
The vulgarity of having such a crazy drinking party in broad daylight in a drawing room, not a restaurant, reached its climax.
“Yuma you son of a bitch… that’s not enough…
it was Puang. He sobbed on the drawing-room floor, eyes half-folded.
Zecca was also bursting into laughter as she received the alcohol poured by Yuma all over her body.
Cindy sat at a table in the parlor with a subtle and complex expression on her face and wiggled her fingers.
“Come on little master! Miss Catherine is here!”
“what? what bullshit is that? alcohol! Bring your next drink quickly!”
Yuma already knew that Catherine had come. However, I pretended not to see it and continued acting like an idiot.
Katherine blushed for a moment, then jerked back to Jacques.
“drink! Keep drinking!”
Of course, Yuma was not drunk at all.
For over two weeks, Yuma held a drinking party every day at the top of Puang. All of the cellove unit’s training had been suspended.
‘It’s almost time for the garrison to come.’
The reason why Yuma deliberately throws noisy parties every day was because he was conscious of the garrison.
Yuma planned to use the Shelob unit only as a demon subjugation force. However, in the eyes of the emperor and nobles, the cellove troops were a group that could be interpreted differently.
private enlisted.
In particular, since the results of the first subjugation were dazzling, the nobles who regarded Yuma as a thorn in their eyes, including the Rollmandi family, would find fault with them somehow.
In other words, a commoner creates a private private unit and creates an oppressive atmosphere.
Sure enough, after a few more days, several garrison knights and officers found the Puang Merchant.
“Yuma! Come out and show your face right now!”
They recklessly opened the top gate and called out Yuma. It was a ploy to catch even one more pod by attacking unexpectedly.
Yuma knew the nobles’ tendencies and techniques better than anyone else.
“Stories have been circulating lately that you are creating an atmosphere of civil war with private soldiers. Do you know?”
One of the officers pointed to Yuma and said.
He was putting on a solemn voice, but he was very nervous.
It was because he lost in a lottery and took on the role of interrogating Yuma.
‘Then the mercenaries must all be rebellious criminals.’
Yuma thought with a grin.
In fact, the garrison had no choice but to mobilize because nobles kept coming and making a fuss to investigate.
The officer planned to go back after giving a rough shape. There seemed to be no corner to accuse even the inside of the top.
“A civil war?”
Yuma looked at the messy drawing room and said.
The Cellove unit members had been drunk since broad daylight and had fallen asleep.
There were a few people at headquarters, but the situation would be similar there.
“My war. It looks like this.”
“From broad daylight, what…
“Answer straight. If you keep smirking, I will cut off your arm!”
Sreung!
The moment the garrison officer was about to give an appropriate answer, a young knight next to him pulled out his sword.
He was a newcomer who had just been knighted and assigned to the garrison. It meant an idiot who didn’t know anything.
Surprised by the knight’s accidental action, the officer looked at Yuma.
“Oh sorry. By the way, what is your name…?”
“This is Jack Heugin.”
It was a family that had visited Hugo’s bride candidate interview before. He was also a minor aristocrat whom Yuma barely knew by name.
“okay. I’ve never owned an enlisted soldier. These are the members of the Demon Gul Subjugation Unit. The last subjugation was very difficult, so I am taking enough rest.”
Yuma said with a sly smile. Jack Hughes wrinkled his expression as if he was dumbfounded.
“Don’t talk nonsense. You must have sinned, and that’s why I’m here.”
Hearing this, the officer was taken aback.
It was the first time I had seen such an inflexible article in 15 years of garrison gambab.
But I couldn’t dry it or pick it up. It was because he was an aristocratic knight and he was a commoner garrison officer.
“So are you going to cut off my arm?”
“If you continue to behave uncooperatively.”
Yuma looked into Jack’s eyes.
It was a familiar kind of look. ‘I am an aristocratic knight of the Empire who is honorable and does the right thing’.
I let out a sigh.
‘The nobles put this guy in on purpose. Others won’t be able to act like idiots who don’t know this world.’
The tip of Jack’s sword pointed at Yuma’s face.
